Black Hole of Calcutta

An Indian beauty and nutter:
her eyelashes started to flutter,
her butt in the air
she laid it all bare,
revealing her hole of Calcutta...

How I feel about Poetry Soup


I joined this site called Poetry Soup

So I could write about turds or poop

 

I’m not sure that some folk  in this group

Know humor, or are just out of the loop

 

I was stunned to be awarded Poem of the Day

I was so thrilled, I didn’t know what to say

 

Until trolls on the site made nasty remarks

But their bullying ways are their trademarks

 

At first Soup was fun I’d read work late at night

But this year I have hardly logged on to the site

 

It’s a pity that I’ve been deterred from writing

I sought peace and quiet and not back biting

 

My poetry style is straight from the heart

Who cares if I  write about a foul smelly fart

 

I don’t care if folk don’t like poems on flatus

Because I write for fun not poet laureate status

Written with love for Trudy

Certain things despised by me without a doubt:
foulest elevator farts that no one wants to own,
tasting garlic from their gas, I gag and shout,
"Farty creep, I think you're rotten to the bone."
Very much detest commodes that overflow,
more than that I loathe the floating feces, though.
Really hate to step in stinking piles of poo,
squelching shoes or boots becoming pungent too.

Trolls

The trolls that haunt this site
and think they're always right,
who bully,  b itch and moan 
are rotten to the bone.

I find it hard to hide my smirks
as they're a freaky load of jerks.

No hint of humor there
but I don't really care;
I shake my head, I'm numb
(I'd hate to be so dumb).

I find it hard to hide my smirks
as they're a  freaky   load of jerks.

I wonder are they mad,
or simply rather sad
with lives that failed to be,
just bitter jealousy?

I find it hard to hide my smirks
as they're a  freaky  load of jerks.

I do not read their trash:
so arrogant and brash,
and comments meant to sting
will make my spirit sing:

I find it hard to hide my smirks
as they're a  freaky  load of jerks...
yes, they're a freaky  load of jerks!

Alice Can't Slip Through the Wormhole

It's been many months since I saw 'Malice'
In fact, she was hard to recognize  
There's a faraway look in her bloodshot eyes
She resembles a Michelin man with loads of spare tires
Her blue and white dress is strained at the seams,

Good god she's put on so much weight
It must be so annoying
that she can't slip through the wormhole 
to cause havoc with useless debating.
Perhaps, her ego needs deflating
How I'd love to burst her bubble
after she's caused so much trouble.

Avoiding an accident

I'd travel back to yesterday
for lunch and thereupon
because I'd had my chili hot
I wouldn't leave the john!

Frosty Eve

She lost her panties, didn't grieve,
until it snowed: one frosty Eve.
